Beep bop like that))

Chapter 12 «separation of friends»

Pico leaned his back against the building and tried to rest with his eyes closed. This turned out to be with varying degrees of success, since it was quite crowded and noisy near the store. He looked relaxed and tense at the same time. Is this even possible? In any case, he returned to normal after he heard that same 'beep' sound, which he will never confuse with anything else.

Pico: "Finally, you can die here alone from boredom."

Boyfriend: "Beee?" (Where is Vivan?)

Pico: "Guess the first time where a woman can go? Especially if they promise discounts."

Boyfriend: "Bop bo skep." (Leave her, let's go get something to eat.)

Pico: "Sounds like a plan, kid. Lead the way."

Man: "Boyfriend, my boy. I'm so glad to see you."

An unknown person hugged the little one. He was confused, but Pico was wary and did not take his eyes off him.

Man: "What happened to Ron? Why is no one answering the phone, and why are you wandering around the city all alone?"

Pico: "Man, could you please move away from the child. Don't violate personal space."

The man abruptly changed his tone to a crueller one, not listening to what he was told.

Man: "Listen, who are you anyway?"

Pico: "You know, I have the same question. Little one, do you know him?"

Boyfriend: "y-yea."

Man: "My name is Mike, and this is my nephew. What's the problem? Boyfriend, did this guy hurt you?"

The little one shook his head while Pico came closer. "Calm down your emotions and stop putting pressure on him."

Mike: "Who are you to contradict my actions?"

Pico: "I am his legal guardian."

Mike: "What? Why?"

Pico: "Do you even exist in this world or not?"

Mike: "What does that mean?"

After briefly explaining what happened, Pico became even more suspicious of him. Usually people react very strongly to the death of their friends or acquaintances, but he reacted differently. His calm face only changed slightly towards sadness. He also covered his face with his hands, trying to hide his emotions. After hearing this, he expressed his dissatisfaction with such a decision on the part of government organizations.

Mike: "You know, I kind of appreciate you looking after him, but I want to take him with me."

Pico: "Why would this happen all of a sudden? I'm glad that you want, but first you have to ask the little one. Don't even hope for my consent without his word."

Mike: "That's what he wants, right Boyfriend? We rarely saw each other because of my work, but now I can fulfill so many promises I made to you earlier."

Boyfriend: "M-maybe I."

Mike: "I think that's right too. Where did you sign the documents? We'll go there right now."

Pico: (Fuck, where did you come from on my head? I have enough to do without you. I can't ignore him, it will only get worse. I'll have to decide everything now, even though I don't like it.) "Okay, only the little one is going with me, this is not discussed."

Mike: "Of course, I understand."

Pico gave Mike the address, who in turn said that he would arrive there today and kindly made a gesture of goodwill. By this time, Vivian had come out of the store, who had seen what was happening from the window in the store, and of course was interested in what it was. Pico waved her off with a few phrases and left her to deal with the matter herself for a while.
